As the Greenville special teams go, so goes the Swamp Rabbits. Greenville allowed two power play goals and did not convert any of their extra man situations, dropping a 4-1 road decision to the Gladiators at the Infinite Energy Arena at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, GA on Sunday afternoon. Allen York sat backup all three games, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday as head coach Brian Gratz decided to ride Jeff Malcolm all weekend. The Swamp Rabbits have just two games this coming week featuring home tilts against the Orlando Solar Bears on Tuesday night and Friday night against cross-state rival the South Carolina Stingrays.

Lightning prospect Brian Hart earned first star honors Saturday night, scoring the game winner and his team leading sixth goal of the season.

Greenville killed off all eight penalties and scored a power play goal of their own. The Swamp Rabbits wrap up their weekend slate with a trip down I-85 for a rematch with the Gladiators in Atlanta Sunday afternoon.

It felt like the Swamp Rabbits unleashed six games of winless frustration on an unsuspecting Atlanta squad Thursday night at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville. Lightning prospect Brian Hart scored his team leading fifth goal of the season, ripping a top shelf wrister from the hash marks. Fellow prospect Daniel Walcott, just reassigned from Syracuse earlier in the week, had a strong game in his debut with 3 shots and +2 rating. The Swamp Rabbits special teams shone bright with 1005 perfection on both the penalty kill and the power play. Greenville take Friday night off before hosting Adirondack Saturday night and a rematch with the Gladiators in Atlanta Sunday afternoon.

Greenville gave up 5 more goals Sunday afternoon to the Royals, shutout for their sixth consecutive loss, a night after losing to Reading 5-1. The Swamp Rabbits are in free fall at the moment losing the three-game weekend slate by a combined score of 14-3. Greenville returns home to take on Atlanta Thursday night and Adirondack Saturday night before driving down I-85 to Atlanta for rematch with the Gladiators next Sunday afternoon.

Lightning prospect Brian Hart scored Greenville's lone goal in Saturday night's 5-1 road loss to the Reading Royals. It was Hart's team-leading 4th goal of the season, and he scored it from his office on the doorstep of the crease poking in a rebound. One encouraging development from Hart's assignment in Greenville is that he is emerging as that big body in front of the net that both the Crunch and the Lightning need.

Riding a four-game losing streak, the Swamp Rabbits needed Allen York to come out and pitch a sparkling performance in net, but once again he allowed 5 goals including 4 in a deflating 2nd period. Greenville's nothing special teams were once again on display, allowing 2 power play goals on four attempts, and going scoreless on the power play in three tries. The Swamp Rabbits conclude their three game weekend road swing in a Sunday afternoon rematch with the Royals.

The Swamp Rabbit hit the road this weekend for a three-in-three, starting with a tilt against the Norfolk Admirals. The Admiral scored twice in the first and twice in the third to seal Greenville's fourth straight loss after a 3-1 start to their season. Allen York sat backup after a rough start to the season and the Rangers organization reassigning goalie Mackenzie Skapski from Hartford. What this means is that York will likely get just the Saturday night start this weekend, and more importantly no room for Lightning prospect Adam Wilcox. For the Swamp Rabbits, yet another game allowing 30+ shots, a defunct power play sitting at 12% that has allowed as many SHG as PPG scored, and a penalty kill sitting second-to-last in the league at 73.1%. Greenville travels to Reading for a two-night engagement with the Royals.

Not much good to say about the Swamp Rabbits tilt Sunday afternoon against the Florida Everblades. Allen York got the start but was pulled in the 2nd period after allowing 4 goals on 18 shots. York is still looking for his first win of the season and he's sporting almost 5 goals against in his 3 games thus far. For Syracuse Crunch fans and Lightning prospect followers, the Everblade trio of Mike Aviani, Kevin Lynch, and Gabriel Desjardins all contributed to the Greenville shellacking. Lightning camper Mike Aviani scored the first two goals of the game as part of a 4-point effort. Lynch also scored and added an assist as well, while Desjardins also added an assist. Greenville dropped all three games of their weekend home stand, falling to the cellar in the South Division at 3-4-0-0. The Swamp Rabbits hit the road next weekend for a Friday night game against Norfolk, followed by Saturday and Sunday games in Reading.

Brian Hart opened the scoring Halloween night at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, his second goal in as many nights and third of his last four games. Hart once again scored from his greasy office on the goalies front porch. All three of Hart's goals this season have come in and around the blue paint. After building a 2-0 lead in the 1st period, the Swamp Rabbits would surrender three third period goals to the IceMen in a heartbreaker loss in front of their home crowd. Greenville threw 44 shots at Evansville netminder Scott Greenham, but Ottawa native shut the door after the first period to give his team a chance to rally. In net for the Swamp Rabbits was Adam Morrison, who was signed on October 23rd when Allen York was recalled to Syracuse following the recall of Kristers Gudlevskis to Tampa. Now with Kevin Poulin and Gudlevskis bot in Syracuse, it remains to be seen if Greenville might soon have Tampa prospect goalie Adam Wilcox supplant Morrison as York's partner in the crease. Greenville concludes their three game weekend homestand Sunday afternoon against the Florida Everblades.

Brian Hart scored his second goal of the season Friday night early in the 3rd period, but the Swamp Rabbits came up short against the visiting Atlanta Gladiators. Greenville opened and closed the scoring, but Gladiator captain and long-time ECHL vet Derek Nesbitt scored two power play goals and assisted on a third power play tally. Allen York, returned from Syracuse with Vasilevskiy's conditioning assignment, got stuck with a tough loss defending against seven Atlanta power plays and 44 shots. Greenville continues their weekend three-game home stand Halloween night against Evansville.

A few familiar faces to Syracuse Crunch fans skated into the Bon Secours Wellness Arena Sunday afternoon with the Florida Everblades to take on Brian Hart and the Greenville Swamp Rabbits. But Hart and his fellow Swamp Rabbits held Kevin Lynch, Mike Aviani, and Gabriel Desjardins all off the score sheet rallying from a two-goal deficit to complete the sweep of their weekend slate. After surrendering the first two goals, New York Rangers forward prospect Josh Nicholls scored twice for the Swamp Rabbits to knot the game at 2-2. Late in the 3rd, tough guy Emerson Clark, a former Windsor teammate of Slater Koekkoek, scored the game winner for Greenville to seal the victory. Syracuse depth defenseman Charlie Dodero assisted on Nicholls' second goal. Greenville has a three-game home stand next weekend against Atlanta, Evansville, and Florida.
